12:00 am
soldiers. we will bring every development as we get them from. that is it for us. we will bring over to "the five" in new york. hope you join us tomorrow at 8:00. all of their families. trace gallagher is next. we will see you back here tomorrow night. >> good evening, and trace gallagher in los angeles. a special live coverage of barcelona, spain, a scene of carnage on the la rambla avenue in the area known as russell loss from us. witnesses say that the van jumped the curb and traveling up to 50 miles per hour began zigzagging early meg zigzagging. trying to maim and kill as many people as possible. a viewer warning, the following video is disturbing. [unintelligible screams]
12:01 am
>> oh, my god! >> what happened? oh, god! what happened? [unintelligible screams] >> just a horrific scene, the witnessing that the van traveled more than 500 yards going after whoever was in front of it. at least 13 people are dead, more than 100 injured, isis has taken responsibility for the attack. tonight police may have been involved in a second terror attack in a coastal town about 70 miles south of barcelona. let's go live to barcelona where jack paradox, a feature story's new journalist is standing by. what do we know about the second
12:02 am
terror attack? >> yes, indeed. as you mention, another very similar scene is in the land of cambrils, 70 kilometers to the southwest side. it appears that another vehicle tried to ram into further pedestrians seven people injured, and one a police officer. we believe that the attackers, police have confirmed that they think they the attackers in that incident were wearing explosives. we believe that there have been no fatalities in that incident so hard. if the spanish saying that they neutralize the attack. clearly that coming within 12 hours of the attacks that we saw on la rambla. a big concern for spanish security tonight. >> yes, i'm curious, we talked about the driver of the van debt attacked today. is there any connection that the
12:03 am
driver of that van who we believe is on the run was involved in this second attempted terror attack? in the coastal city? >> that we cannot confirm. we know that five people were shot dead by police in a shoot-out following the attempted attack on cambrils on the southern coastline. so we know that the police think the two attacks are connected. and that they have been shot by perpetrators paid whether the man drove the van down la rambla behind me earlier on thursday was the same man that made its way down to the spanish town further down the coastline prayed that we do not know yet. but we are expecting more details, as you would expect. >> trace: lastly, jack, and curious about the two explosions. one happened last night. we understand that there were some fatalities in the explosions, those were apparently linked by police in spain to the attack today.
12:04 am
what are we learning about those attacks and what the connection might be? >> that's right. in another town around 70 miles or so, outside of barcelona, a house exploded. it looks pretty gruesome, the explosion that have been there. police believe that the perpetrators of these attacks were trying to make explosive in the house. one fatality. and thought that the fatality may have been someone making explosives. it is a really strange and scary series of events that have happened here in barcelona around the city of barcelona. >> trace: yes come alive for us on the ground in barcelona. good of you to join us. thank you, sir. with us more for -- jim hansen. here in los angeles, aaron cohen, a former member of israel's counterterrorism movement. and a creator of cherries.
12:05 am
you listen to the report, we looked at this today. to the experts looked at it. the traffic on both sides. people walking in the middle. a lot of places like this around the world. we talk about the london bridge, westminster, a lot of places, and i know you think it is easy to secure these, but how do you lock down la rambla today? >> i've been there twice, it is not on similar to any boardwalk that you have. the difference is that it only has one way in and one way out. what i would have done their, and how i would be looking at security in the macro picture for all of these more well-known places where people gather, and you and i have discussed this, i would have put bollards down, even temporary bollards that could raise and then go down. and then i would have uniform armed patrolled police officers at either ends of la rambla.
12:06 am
if you have the bollards or plastic ones that fill up, the van or vehicle cannot physically get in there. you cannot protect everything. but we can at least cut off or create choke points to end the madness of the vehicular murder that we are seeing. >> trace: let's take it out of the u.k., talk about the united states. every week, on any given weekend, 25 places that you know are soft targets. the french border, football games getting out of thousands of people are there that seem to be very difficult to secure. >> it is a lot of locations. i'm sure that there are a couple of hundred if you do the math and add it all up. any place where you have crowds that are migrated or crowds that are hanging out together whether it is a concert like we saw with arianna grande. or the tube in the u.k. you have to look at the security measures. it is doable.
12:07 am
it has to be scaled. the u.s. government needs to put together some task force and look at all the different types of well-known places where the crowds will start to come together. a sporting events in the cities and all the other national and religious places where the crowds form, and then start to put up counterterrorist measures so that the bollards, when they are brought in with the control officers, i will add another one, probably one of israel's best-kept counterterrorism secrets. plainclothes officers. the more eyeballs you have sprinkled undercover, the more the force multiplier you have. the problem in this country is that we do not allow the plainclothes officers to get involved. that's for liability reasons. that needs to change. >> trace: jim hansen, i know you differ on this on this producing instead of securing the side, you should secure the source or make sure that the source is preempted from these types of attacks by making sure that the muslims assemble and
12:08 am
eight -- assimilate. what would you do to increase security? >> you should do both. usually you should absolutely do what aaron recommends. but europe is reaping the whirlwind of a open borders policy where they are bringing in vast numbers of people who do not share liberal western values and not assimilating anywhere near enough. so you have a large group of people who have not joined the culture. and in many cases are going to mosques where they are hearing extremist ideology. and jihadist being there, and doing what you expect credit that shows the value of president trump's executive order commonly called the travel ban where he called for all of the security agencies to develop what he calls extreme vetting, i would hope at this point it is turbo-extreme-vetting and look at the people that want to come to the country to make sure that they do not share those beliefs.
12:09 am
not going to try to bring them here to the united states. >> trace: we talked about this. we did a story on this earlier how spain has seen a influx of migrants page triple this year what it was last year, jim. really no way to get them assimilated. you cannot get them housed. you cannot get doctors, know it education. you cannot get them housed much less assimilated into various neighborhoods. >> i am sympathetic to the plight of people around the world. in military forces we help to people who were in bad situations, liberating people from oppression. you cannot do it to everyone and bring everyone either to europe or the united states. we have to help them where they are and make things better there and then in the places where we already have values of liberty, freedom, and that kind of thing, we need to make sure that we are not inviting people here who do not share their values. >> trace: you are talking about liberty and values,
12:10 am
everybody talks about the israeli security system. and it is great. they do a great job there, but you give up significant liberties in israel. you go to the mall, you get your trunk checked, car checked, you have to step outside. certain things that i'm not sure americans and the people in the u.k. will want to give up. >> i agree, definitely a change or a comfort zone that needs to be reached in order to be able to adapt to the types of liberties, if you will that you are giving up to be able to assimilate with the type of security that israel demands of its government. the first terror attack in israel on the airplane was last, they say they will not put up with it. all of the citizens in the military, weapons everywhere. we have a conscript army, but the truth is, and i am with jim 100%. there is no question that part of the security or the chunk of the security is going to be involved with going after the people inside the circles and getting the intel cooking.
12:11 am
when we say multilayered, it has convoluted, the term, so it is a part of the middle east, we have to beef up security and continue pressing with the intel agencies inside the neighborhoods. the other thing, from what i understand, the central intelligence shared with the spanish intelligence agencies have just over the summer, a couple of months ago about a certain terror cell that was cooking inside of spain. the problem is that they did not have the information. europe does not seem to be acting on it. if that's a push that we are missing. >> trace: jim, the last question to you, we have to go, but israel stands for? is it your assessment that people in europe and the united states are willing to stand for it a little bit more? >> i hope that they will because we need to. and i hope it does not take another catastrophic attack of 9/11 proportion to wake people up to the fact that this does not have to be the way that we live. >> trace: jim hansen, aaron
12:12 am
cohen, thank you. for more on the terror attack in barcelona and moments. is this or is the driver of the van was still at large? or was he among the people killed by the police and the terror raid moments ago. breaking news coverage of the attack in barcelona, spain, . [unintelligible screaming] >> what happened? oh, god? what happened?
12:13 am
12:14 am
12:15 am
12:16 am
spewing continuing coverage of breaking news, president's response to the terror attack in barcelona creating some major political waves. we will get to chief correspondent ed henry. a life for us in d.c. tonight. add to. >> good to see you. just like everything else that president trump diesel with these days. almost i've anything he says gets dumped on our criticize, started out as a normal reaction that we expect from the president, the crisis either here at home or abroad. at the president puts out a statement on twitter. the first tweet pretty standard. pretty straightforward. a tweeting date the united states condemns the terror attack in barcelona, spain,, and will do whatever is necessary to help. be strong, we love you to the people of spain. but then he added a tweet saying study what "study what general pershing of the united states did to terrorists when caught. there was no more radical islamic terror for 35 years!"
12:17 am
that's where he got tripped up, a bit of history that everyone from bullet effect had the national review are things did not actually happen, that the world war won u.s. general, general pershing and the rally and campaign took some islamic terrorists about 50 of them, slaughtered some pigs. he took the pig blood. and they put them on the bullets, killing 49 of the 50 islamic terrorists. as you hear from the tweet, allegedly it went away for 35 years. historians tonight saying that to that is not exactly what happened. president taking the heat for that. meanwhile the vice president mike pence has been traveling in latin america. he was in panama, had very strong words for the terrorist. >> this latest attack, the worst terror attack on spanish soil since the 2004 madrid train bombings.
12:18 am
it shows us again that radical islamist terrorist are one of the biggest threats we face today. isis has taken credit for their barbaric attack. but whoever is responsible should know that the united states of america, together with our allies will find and punish those responsible and to drive the evil of radical islamic terror from the face of the earth. >> so you see there the threat of radical islamic terror, something president trump and vice president mike pence spoke a lot about. now something they deal with as they run the government. >> trace: ed henry, thank you, let's bring in walid phares, the foreign affairs analyst who serves as a advisor on these issues to donald trump during the 2016 campaign. it was good to see you. seems like if you're trying to rally the horses, if you are trying to give the country some comfort, i guess rehashing the story that has been debunked might not be the way to do it? your thoughts?
12:19 am
>> yes, some would criticize. that's where the opposition today is trying to do, but let's put it in perspective. the president and the vice president put those statements to the spanish government and people against the terrorist, and they named the foes, the radical islamic terrorists. but the president tried to mobilize by giving a story. it was criticized. about what he has showed since last november. so we have in the past, president obama who would issue statements that would be academic, sounding well, but then going in the wrong direction. now we have president trump who is going the right direction, but of course he has his own style in those tweets. we need to understand what is more important. the general direction or the style. that is the big question. >> trace: you want president trump to say, these are terrorist? and president obama, clearly, reticent to do that in a lot of times.
12:20 am
in some facts he did not do it at all. do you think it is important that the president gets in front of these issues and right off the get-go, these are terrorist, this is evil, we need to paste what it is? >> of course, he is the leader of the free world. today, tonight i would say that the prime minister of spain is the most advanced in his statement. he said that this is jihadi terrorism. that's how we should define it. but we refine and say the best words, we cannot say that this is terrorism an abstract. we need to do better than what we do in washington, not to go back in the direction of the last eight years. >> trace: the goal being what? if we go out and we say it is terrorism coming is kind of implied. we know, we knew back in 2009 or 2010 that it was terrorism. we knew it right off the get-go. we knew who the suspect was. what are we accomplishing by stating it upfront?
12:21 am
>> the person we accomplish is to inform the american public what terrorism looks like. what does jihadists would be staying. we need the allies, this is the largest, not just a law enforcement who are overwhelmed by everything. that's why national leaders need to explain. they are at the editors. they need to be very precise to the public. number two, we have specific communities that can help us a lot. coming from the middle east, north africa, they are the allies. if you do not tell them that this is jihadists terrorism, they would not think that it is and be able to help us. >> trace: does this bolster the travel ban? does it give more credence? >> i think we need to do more than that in terms of vetting, what is missing in washington is a real system where we are able to determine the ideology of those that we are concerned
12:22 am
about. but more important to detect who is radicalizing. this whole story, there is one issue that is missing right now. because when those speeds are terrorist, that is terrorism, we need to know what is the network that is basically inducting these people so that they become terrorists. >> trace: i have to go, but some of these countries that talk about vetting, yemen, these are failed states, we cannot get the information out of there, they do not have the information to give that are coming that way. it is a very difficult task. >> that is very true, but remember that the president addressed 50 arab and muslim leaders, a system of counterterrorism. and a lot of things that have been loaned. we need to figure out how we are going to apply it in the world of reality. >> trace: dr. walid phares, always good to see you. and coming up today, the terror attack in barcelona is the latest in an ongoing wave of
12:23 am
vehicle assaults in europe. why is a continent having so much trouble stopping them? continuing coverage of breaking news, stay with us. ♪
12:24 am
12:25 am
12:26 am
♪ >> trace: welcome back to the breaking news coverage, vehicle attacks in europe are sadly all too commonplace. before today's attack in barcelona and another one this week east of paris where a security guard intentionally drove his car into a pizzeria,
12:27 am
injuring 12 more, but suspect told officials he was suicidal, taking a large quantity of painkillers, so terrorism was ruled out. but earlier this month and algerian man drove a rented bmw into a group of soldiers into a paris hubbard, injuring six. police unable to question the suspect because of the injuries in the crash, and a motive so far has not been released. keep in mind, the three car attacks took place in london in the span of four months. including the march attack on the westminster bridge or four people were killed. more than 50 people in that incident were injured. back in early april, the isis sympathizer hijacked a truck and drove through a crowd in stockholm, sweden, killing five people in that attack. in berlin, last december 12 killed, 50 injured when a man inspired by isis drove a truck through a crowded christmas market place. and of course, last july in
12:28 am
nice, france, 86 people lost their lives, nearly 500 500 wee hurt when a french man drove the truck down the promenade in that city through a crowd celebrating the steel day. we know both isis and al qaeda have called for this attack as well as her knife attacks, and isis magazine including an article called "just terror tactics." encourages followers to rent or steal vehicles. mentioning denise attack saying "vehicles are like knives as they are extremely easy to acquire." the al qaeda magazine inspire had similar messaging with westerners calling pickup trucks, and i'm quoting here "the ultimate mowing machine." we know the terror groups have tried to attack soft targets or areas that are vulnerable like shopping areas, concert venues, which we saw in the manchester
12:29 am
attack back in may. so why is europe seemingly so incapable of better stopping these attacks? now from new york, breitbart london, along with ryan moore, the analyst for the clarion project. they knew this was coming because the cia said, hey, look, las ramblas is a legitimate target. it's going to be hit. >> look, you can put surveillance on as many terror suspects as you want bread and not going to solve the problem. we need to look at this differently. we are dealing with an ideology and an insurgency. there is a network that produces people that think this way. going back to 2011, a spanish intelligence report that was warning about parallel society is forming in spain because of foreign financed radical islam by saudi arabia and cutter, back in 2011, they were saying at that time that there was 100
12:30 am
mosques with radical imams preaching this type of hatred and guess what, people tend to act on it. spoony asked, clearly, there is a great point there. but if you go through the list of what is happening in europe over over the past year, two years, we really are an epidemic proportion here. >> my sentiments exactly, trace, we had now 30 terror attacks or attempted terror attacks in europe over the course of this year alone. only two have not been linked to migration or muslim migrants into europe, or radical jihadists. this is large proportions. not because we do not welcome people from the outside, not because we have invaded iraq 15 years ago, whenever it was, this is because they hate our way of life.
12:31 am
and they have this mind-set and the radicalizing factor out there as brian mentioned, and as you mentioned before with the inspire magazines that teach these guys how to do these things. but if you do not mind me getting a little bit informal with this, we have to get real about this threat any europe, now nearly 100 people inching towards 100 people died this year from terrorism. over 350 injured from terrorism this year alone. into the european political establishment does not want to do anything about it. they want to continue having the no-go zone across europe. they want to continue with the mass migration. we will see a continuation of the death and destruction brought to our streets if we do not get a grip on these things. something that is relatively easy to do if there is a political will. >> trace: what do you make of that, ryan? he says that we need to get real, but if you look at the security services, i've been over to the u.k. after various attacks, they are pretty good.
12:32 am
these guys over there in london and spain, the security agencies, they do a pretty good job, and it is tough to stop every attack. so i think of you said, get real, they would say, we are very real about this. >> well, on individual basis, personnel that are very good and very dedicated, willing to die to stop terrorism. if you do not have the right strategy and policies, then you're not going to be able to stop the wave of jihadists that are coming at those very professional personnel that are trying to protect you. and again, going back to the mind-set, because there was an excellent point that this is not about what the u.s. does to other countries, this is an ideology. i signed up for radical online school, and what they taught was, you are supposed to go into western society and maybe you do not believe in carrying out an attack, but what you are supposed to believe in is building an infrastructure,
12:33 am
radical infrastructure in western society is building a parallel society and spreading that ideology that says we hate the u.s., not because of what they are doing in the muslim world, but we hate them because they have man-made democracy. that is offensive to allah. because anybody who mentions these issues is called a islamaphobe. >> trace: ryan, i hear you, let me give raheem kassam the last 15 seconds. >> trees, a situation in europe where there is no political will, i give all the credit to the police, they stop ten times more than the attacks that happen in europe, but truth is that the politicians do not want to get real. radicalization is a problem. i will tell you something, the european people are fed up with it. >> trace: raheem kassam,

>> trace: welcome back to the special live coverage of today's terror attack in barcelona, spain. a local spanish media reporting that over the last few months of the cia the spanish authorities of isaiah's plots against barcelona. for more, let's bring in former cia officer mike baker joining us from boise, idaho. and from washington, robin simcox, at the heritage foundation. we talked about this earlier, but even if you know, even if the cia warns you that, this is coming. and today specifically talked about las ramblas and said it was coming. very difficult to defend
12:39 am
against. >> well, it is. and they put out a variety of assessments and analysis. and and a somewhat general warns on a fairly regular basis. so the fact that they specifically cite las ramblas which is a very heavy tourist area which is similar to nice, westminster bridge in london, does not mean there are specific operational leads or intelligence i would say, okay, now you have a name to go on. a date or a methodology to go on. to be fair, you know, a number of government acted on the various warnings. it was not just citing meese, the british intelligence, they had been warning or advising british travelers of the potential for the attack in spain. so this is, these things happen on a constant basis. sometimes they are made public, sometimes they are not. >> trace: you look at the
12:40 am
pattern, robin, you go to the london bridge, westminster bridge, and you know that these attacks are happening because they are in very popular places. a lot of tourists. isis is not only attacking the spaniards or the brits, they are going after everybody. they are hoping they can kill as many people from as many countries as possible. if they do that, they get news coverage from all over the world, and it just illuminates their cause, correct? >> yes, 15 european countries since the beginning of 2004, 2014, isis have plotted or carried out attacks. and of course, part of it is the main reason that they carry out these attacks is because isis has a very clear agenda. they have a very clear ideology. they have a very clear political project which they wish to implement. unfortunately, it involves killing large amounts of civilians, killing soldiers, killing a policeman.
12:41 am
and doing so indiscriminately. we are living with the consequences of this all to regulatory now in europe. >> trace: and robin, very quickly, you look at the social media sites. the isis propaganda sites talking about getting a truck, do it in your own hunt he met country, kill as many as you can, get out and start stabbing. it seems like it to me, wow, how do you defend against that? >> so hard. nothing publicly disclosed where european security agencies have been able to stop one of these vehicular style attacks. that's because it's very hard to acquire these -- very easy to acquire vehicles knives, machetes, and these terrace know that they can carry out the attack and it's going to be a by count at the end of it. it shows that they are perfect for terrorists like isis. soon so i guess the question goes back to you, the question
12:42 am
goes back to you because the point that i am seeing is the cia says there is an attack coming in las ramblas, no date, but an attack coming. it does the cia say? here's what you should do. >> no, and to this is not an assessment or an analysis. there is an attack coming on la rambla. they are saying there is a potential for, please be advised. so we want to be clear that they were not advising the spanish authorities that you are going to have an attack right here in some point in the near future. as far as what they advise, no, because the spanish authorities, the u.k., the british, the french, the german, counterterrorism police are very intelligent. always offering assistance, but a good level of sharing that goes on as well. that was not always the case. we talked about that egg nausea them over the years about the
12:43 am
need to improve intelligence sharing, and that it exists. but intel services relying heavily on the cia, nsa, and the other intel members to be able to combat this. >> trace: mike baker, boise, idaho, robin simcox, thank you, both. straight ahead, protecting the homeland from attacks like in barcelona. much more breaking news on the attacks in barcelona and the possibility of a second attacked. attacked. th

12:48 am
are prepared to stop similar attacks. joining us with more from new york, michael balboni, former supervisor, and along with retired fbi specialist. michael, to you first. we talked to aaron coyne earlier. the way you do this, you put up barriers in places like las ramblas, but in this country, you put up barriers in the french quarter, a lot of people would say, good luck with that. >> the difficulty is where do you put these up? do you change the mind-set, are you going to protect a gathering place like he would protect a critical infrastructure? how do you do that when you have a parade? a mass gathering that is unscheduled, not in an area that is typically a tourist attraction. that is a problem with these attacks and the response. we tend to be reactive. we do not think ahead as to what could be done. so then we scramble. unfortunately that gives the public the sense of, well, did you guys see this coming? and that is the real problem with the vehicle attack like
12:49 am
this. it is not a bomb, gone. >> trace: and he makes a great point, he is from new york, he knows that their protest, marches, st. patrick's day parades. everything you can imagine on every given weekend. and any given weekend you can have 500,000 people show up on the mall in washington. how do you protect to that kind of thing? >> one of the ways that i think we need to take steps to protect against these types of attacks is not just putting physical barriers in place, but becoming aware of what is going on out there. not just aware of terrorism, but a way of the indicators of terrorism. i guarantee that these guys in spain took steps that anybody if properly trained would recognize and be able to warn law enforcement in advance. >> trace: i will tell you, and michael, he makes a good point. sometimes these guys do show their hands. in the years that i lived in new york, you guys did work
12:50 am
stopping a lot of terror threat threats. a truck attack, not always throwing their hands, not a lot of intel or chatter. it is a very different animal when it comes to these types of terror attacks. >> if you look at a vehicle borne impulsive device, you pack the truck with explosives, all opportunities for law enforcement to stop it. but this is when you need some training into how do develop a bomb. you get into a vehicle where you do not commit a crime until it comes in contact with a victim. where is the point where you can stop that? what intelligence do you get to be for in a car and turns it on and decides randomly to go after one particular group of tourists or anybody walking on the street? it is virtually impossible to anticipate and predict. >> trace: it really is, john iannarelli, a very big job trying to find out who is having
12:51 am
a truck and the various means in mind. >> true, but things you can look for. for example, how did they rent that vehicle today? did they use cash versus a credit card? we saw that in the world trade attack in 1993. that's an indicator that somebody is up to a nefarious action. a variety of indicators out there that what they were doing on social media. comments they had made to other people they'd know in the community. anything like that can help law enforcement try to prevent these things from happening. >> trace: and john makes a good point, the isis propaganda videos i come out and say, better renting a truck or stealing a truck try to get your name out of it so that you cannot get to the destination. uncle balboni, john iannarelli, thank you. more live coverage

12:57 am
very difficult to predict when islamists are going to be violent. the precursors are obvious. it's not rocket science. these are individuals that believe and thus the premises of the islamic state. the anti-liberty, anti-western, anti-semitic, homophobic. misogynist, histories of domestic violence pretty put the picture together and you have an islamists, many groups are nonviolent, but we need to understand that those are the pools in which the violent are swimming in. and unfortunately, as long as the access of counter radicalization focuses on the symptom, we are never going to be able to predict to these guys. we should focused on political islam and the state of is impaired >> trace: you believe in the pools, you have long believed that they are being fostered by a certain society? >> absolutely, unfortunately asked when it comes to getting
12:58 am
